Edit kind: I was trying to post Covid-19 figures with references from various sources added to a Johns Hopkins Github .csv file that had been saved in Libre as a .ods file. I checked the Wikipedia copyright page beforehand and as Johns Hopkins public Github files have been uploaded in the past it looked okay. As uploading the file with the added figures and references wouldn't work I took a screenprint and saved that as a .jpg file and but that wouldn't work either.

Comments: The Covid-19 table on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory#Total_cases,_deaths,_and_death_rates_by_country_(Our_World_in_Data)page which did post reliable official figures from governments around the world has been replaced by a OWID bot supplying figures that are now inaccurate and don't match official government figures and figures that have impenetrable and almost untraceable references.

@BringBackTheStats: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload a smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg image as a new user while leaving the summary intact. The image you tried to upload is smaller, and you indicated it's your own work. Usually when someone uploads a smaller image, it is a copyright violation taken from the web. If you made the image yourself, please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata. If you did not make the image, please see Commons:Licensing for why we can't accept it as-is, and have the image photographer / designer license it on their official website or social media, or send the image and permission via VRT with a carbon copy to you. If you can't get a compliant license, the image may still be uploaded to English Wikipedia in compliance with en:WP:F because we don't allow Fair Use here. If you change the summary or use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 22:05, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff G.: I thought it was a screenprint but I was actually using Windows 10 Snipping Tool. The file sizes are only 86kb and 117kb. I wish now that I had taken a screenprint to see the file name as I now can't find the spreadsheet in question. I don't really understand all of what you're telling me but I'll have a read of the links you've posted. I do understand that it was rejected because of the small file size but that's the original file size and I suppose there's nothing much I can do to change that, unless I took a photo with a camera of the screenprint image from my screen but then I get all the screen image banding distortion in the photo. Thanks for your message and help.

@BringBackTheStats: What was on your screen when you made the screenprint? Exactly where did it come from, and how could we reproduce it? Could you use our Upload Wizard instead? If not, could you fill your screen with the display of the data before making the screenprint? See also COM:EVID.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 14:52, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Ashsdmdjsjsnudnsis: You may not publish that image here on Wikimedia Commons without permission from an authorized representative of the Commonwealth of Australia. This is not Wikipedia. Our policy is that we follow copyright law as it stands, both in source countries and the US, and we do not accept fair use media. Most countries in the world (179 at last count) have ratified the Berne Convention; Australia did that on 14 April 1928. Under that convention, an image attracts copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium of expression, whether or not it is stamped as such.

Edit kind: Dear Sir/Madam

I am writing to you because I would like to delete the page https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jean-Marie_d%27Eysmond_de_Saint_Ange.jpg concerning my client Jean-Marie De Saint-Ange.

Indeed, this page is not sourced and is no longer relevant. In addition, the photo of Mr. De Saint Ange, which is not very flattering, is more than 15 years old.

In this context, this page has no informative purpose.

However, when I try to delete the page, Wikipedia refuses because a deletion is a suspicious modification.

Could you tell me how to contact an administrator so that I can discuss this with him/her?

Thank you in advance for your attention,

Thank you very much,

Étienne Bucher

@Pariwartan Mishra: Hi, and welcome. I am sorry to inform you that you have triggered Special:AbuseFilter/153 by trying to cross-wiki upload pdf and smaller (<50,000 bytes or <2,000,000 pixels) jpg images as a new user while leaving the summary intact. For each image, you indicated each is your own work. Usually when someone uploads an image, it's a copyright violation taken from the web. Please upload the full-size original of it per COM:HR, including EXIF metadata, but it may be judged too complex to be under TOO in the country of origin, so you may need to publish the image and your permission for it on your official website or social media or send it via VRT. If you change the summary or use our Upload Wizard instead, you should be able to avoid that filter.   — Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me} 13:15, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
